101. Wind Bi (bì)
The next morning
It's not even eight o'clock yet!
Today is the fourth day since we started playing. In addition to running the Secret Realm, countless people have an extra activity.
The key question is whether Wang Qianduo can maintain his score of 1250 points or even break his own record.
Old Wang: "..."
He didn't want the number 1250.
T_T
The older man who knew the news thought to himself, "That's really being a bit too dramatic."
However, no one else knew about his affectation; if they did, they probably would have wanted to kill him.
Whether they can win is another matter.
"Sir, it's him. This man can obtain 1250 Crystal Stone from the Secret Realm every day,"
Where Old Wang couldn't see, the people indulging in Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon spoke to a very conspicuous person dressed in a black robe.
This person was estimated to be over 2.2 meters tall, and was wearing a black robe that covered his entire body, not even revealing his face. It would be strange if he weren't conspicuous.
Even among Player who dress in all sorts of bizarre ways, none dressed like this.
If they hadn't observed that Old Wang was in the shadows, and if there hadn't been many people watching him these past few days, they would have been exposed long ago.
"Understood, I'll help you resolve this problem."
"But if I intervene and you still lose first place, then we don't need to cooperate anymore. And don't forget the contract!" The two-meter-tall man in black cracked his knuckles and looked at Old Wang.
He was quite surprised to find that he could actually attack that person.
According to the rules of this world, he shouldn't be able to attack these level 10 or so creatures!
But never mind all that, that item is far too important to be lost.
If this problem can be solved so easily, the reward over there must be quite substantial.
Then, as he spoke, he waved his hand toward his nose, as if trying to remember the smell of something.
"Don't worry, we will definitely live up to your expectations!" the Lord of the Snowfield said excitedly.
This NPC is the only way they can think of to deal with Wang Qianduo right now, although he doesn't know how this NPC will help him.
But he knew that since this person had said so, he would definitely help them.
His extraordinary abilities and romantic Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon are something that the higher-ups have experienced firsthand; the reason so many of them made it onto the list is almost entirely due to his help.
When the time came, Old Wang, completely unaware that he was being watched, entered the Secret Realm.
His first Secret Realm today is the Wind Secret Realm, a place filled with Valley and howling winds.
The Crystal Stone of the Wind Secret Realm are hidden in these Valley.
Not long after entering the Secret Realm, Old Wang, who was far more skilled than the others, easily reaped the rewards.
Just as he put away the Crystal Stone and prepared to take off again, Zero suddenly sounded an alarm. Without thinking, Old Wang used Arcane Translocation to leave the area.
The next moment, countless Wind Blade struck the spot where Old Wang was, almost leveling the mountain there.
Wang Qianduo had teleported to another mountaintop, looked up in the direction from which the Wind Blade had come and found a giant blue bird with four legs and two pairs of wings staring at him.
It was gathering Wind Blade in its mouth; the attack just now was clearly its doing.
Old Wang dodged his attack once again, and then began to flee for his life.
"Damn it, I didn't attract any monsters! Did the system detect my cheating?" Old Wang thought as he ran away.
This strange bird is not Secret Realm Beast, because Old Wang Daoren attributes of any Secret Realm Beast, but he can see these attributes of this bird.
Wind Bi (bì)
LV40
Lord
???
However, seeing it is one thing, but fighting it is another. He only spent 15 minutes in this Instance Dungeon, how could he possibly kill a level 40 Lord?
Now he just wants to get rid of the hatred as soon as possible, otherwise if he continues to be entangled by this thing, he will gain nothing from this Instance Dungeon.
However, while Old Wang didn't want to get entangled, the bird clearly wasn't going to let him go.
Moreover, this bird has two pairs of wings, which clearly indicates that it is very good at flying.
So, not long after Old Wang escaped, he was attacked four or five times by the opponent's blade. He managed to stabilize his health by using Potion and Light Healing.
Old Wang knew this couldn't go on; if he continued flying like this, he'd eventually die here, and the losses would be even greater.
Relying on killing the boss yourself or getting help from other Player is definitely not going to work; this thing is clearly targeting him.
As Old Wang anxiously racked his brains for a solution, a large patch of Valley ahead of him lit up with a faint light—the prelude to the activation of the Blow-Away Trap.
If you can't get out of there before the trap is activated, you and your Mecha will be thrown into the air.
Upon seeing this, Wang Qianduo's eyes lit up. However, the Blow-Away Trap was not enough for him. He wanted to find another kind of trap, one that had caused him great harm in the past.
This thing has taken up so much of his time, he doesn't want to just knock it away and call it a day.
As the saying goes, "Heaven helps those who help themselves." After being chased for nearly ten minutes, Wang Qianduo used a large number of Potion, including one Holy Light, and finally found the trap he wanted and the special canyon gourd-shaped terrain.
The term "Hulukou" is Wang Qianduo's name, referring to the narrow crevice between two mountains.
After seeing the unusual light emanating from the terrain and the trap, Wang Qianduo rushed straight towards it.
The strange bird, the Wind Bi, was relentlessly pursuing him, but the terrain was so narrow that it had to fly sideways.
But as soon as it caught up, a burst of magical Magic Power erupted from the gourd's mouth.
The Wind Bi's green eyes narrowed, and it immediately realized something was wrong and tried to run away, but it was too late.
A fierce wind howled out of the gourd's mouth, carrying countless stones that were faster than bullets.
Moreover, the mountains in this Wind Secret Realm have been battered by the winds for countless years, and the hardness of the mountains and rocks has long been worn down to an unparalleled degree.
Those that weren't hard have long since turned to ashes.
Facing the oncoming downpour of stones, Wang Qianduo smiled slightly; this was exactly what he had been waiting for.
Old Wang flashed forward, activating Arcane Translocation once more, firmly attaching himself to a depression on the cliff edge, and continuously applying Potion.
With no target in sight, countless stones naturally rushed towards the strange bird Wind Bi behind him, instantly turning it into a bloody mess.
The traps in this canyon are actually the same as the traps created by the upward-blowing gale, except that they appear on the cliffs on both sides of the gourd-shaped opening.
This effect can only be achieved when two strong winds blow against each other.
When Old Wang encountered this trap last time, the Lord of the Elements Mecha lost an arm and a leg. If he hadn't used the Potion in time, he might have died on the spot.
But Old Wang is Old Wang, Wind Bi is Wind Bi.
Despite being battered by strong winds and pebbles, it survived thanks to its powerful vitality and defense.
However, its condition was rather pitiful. Three of its four wings were gone, and only one of its four legs remained. Its entire body was riddled with holes pierced by stones, from which strangely colored blood flowed continuously.
Its size is too large, which is why it was so badly damaged.
The Wind Bi never imagined that it would be so badly injured by the wind, which was famous among them for its ability to control the gales.
However, there was nothing that could be done; the elements within this Secret Realm were beyond anyone's control.
Old Wang climbed down the cliff, looked at the severely injured and dying Wind Bi, and smiled:
"Haha, serves you right for chasing me!"
The Wind Bi raised its scarred head and gave him a resentful look. Then, with its broken beak open, a cyan ray pierced through the Lord of the Elements's arm and the mountain behind him.
This attack took away more than half of Wang Qianduo's health. If he hadn't missed a vital spot, it might have killed him.
Startled, Old Wang immediately replenished his health and unleashed Skill Torrent from his hands.
Fearing that the Wind Bi might not die, he even used the Violet Lightning Thunder Dragon Sky-Rending Flash.
Old Wang bombarded the system with questions until he heard the system notification, at which point he stopped.
"System notification: Congratulations on defeating the Secret Realm Hunter Wind Bi! You have achieved a glorious victory and gained 50,000 experience points."
"With these 50,000 experience points, and a little more I can upgrade my Fiery Golden Eyes, it's a bit heartbreaking to think about," Wang Qianduo thought, looking at the system notification.
Isn't it heartbreaking? After Lin Qimeng and her group obtained the Repeatable Tasks, their experience gain rate became incredibly fast.
They're almost level 15, and Old Wang still has one piece of equipment he hasn't evolved yet. The rest of the team has already caught up with him, and even some professional classes like Sword of Miracles have surpassed him.
Although with Old Wang's current stats, he could easily let them reach level 10 first, he doesn't want to stay at level 10 forever.
"We've gone off on a tangent, let's look at the fall first!" Old Wang muttered to himself.
Then he leaped down and picked up what the strange bird, Wind Bi, had dropped.
